Tobacco - Streaker (feat. Notrabel)

Tobacco (birth name Thomas Fec, Black Moth Super Rainbow) continues to deliver the goods to his fans from his Facebook page. Last night, Fec posted a track from the upcoming as-yet-untitled Tobacco album via his Soundcloud page. "Streaker" features guest work from Notrabel (Brian LeBarton) and what sounds like Fec repeating "Ride / Ride / Ride, motherfucker / Ride" under heaps of vocal distortion.

One Soundcloud user commented on the track, "methlab junkyard fucken [sic] doomcore sockhop spankysuit yo." We're just going to stick with that description because there are no precise words to do this absurdist noise jam justice.

A quick Google search reveals that featured guest Brian LeBarton is the keyboardist and music director for BeckHansen. That would make this Fec's second collaboration with the Beck camp since Mr. Hansen himself contributed vocals to "Fresh Hex" and "Grape Aerosmith" off 2010's Maniac Meat. LeBarton also contributed this 8-bit cover version of Beck's "Threshold" for the Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World motion picture soundtrack.
